Neighborhood Empowerment Program Survey
Each year, the City of Denton sets aside $50,000 in funds for neighborhood empowerment projects. These projects allow neighborhoods to make improvements that benefit the community in shared spaces and the city matches funds up to $10,000 per project. The City of Denton needs your help to determine if the Neighborhood Empowerment Program needs to change in order to allow more neighborhoods in our community to utilize these funds.
